The publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 10 minutes past Three o'clock. e. r<=.• 004-Yz_ (Ql , _ae WITH WHICH THE - ct TRUE SUN" IS NOW INCORPORATED. LONDON : TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 11, 1838. The Government has received despatches from Mr. M'NEIL, the British Ambassador in Persia, dated the Bth of October, from Tabriz, where his Excellency was then awaiting the close of negotiations relative to some minor points of difference between himself and the SHAH. These despatches confirm the accounts previously received at Constantinople of the rais ing of the siege of Herat on the 9th of Sep tember, and of the army of the SHAH being fifty miles distant from that city on the 12th. The SHAH had promised Mr. M'NEIL that on his MAJESTY'S re turn to Teheran he would enter into such treaties with the Governor of Herat as would satisfy his British ally that nothing was farther from his thoughts than any desire to disturb the friendly relations hap pily subsisting between England and Persia. Mr. M'NEIL, however, was not thrown off his guard by professions dictated by the appearance of a British military force at Bushire ; especially as the Monarch appeared in no haste to punish those insults offered to the British Ambassador by his Ministers, and which, in a semi-barbarous country like Persia, could not be overlooked without exposing the high pretensions of England to popular contempt. His firmness had greatly disconcerted the agents of Russia, who had promised the SHAH that he would have no difficulty in making himself master of Herat before the British Ambassador could take any step to prevent such a result. They are now busy in circu lating reports that to them England and Persia are in debted for clearing up an unfortunate misunderstanding between the two countries—a misunderstanding wholly attributable to the impetuosity of our enlightened and patriotic representative in Persia. They hope by this means to induce Lord PALMERSTON to re place Mr. M‘NErr, by some suckling in oriental diplomacy, whom they may unconsciously con vert into a tool to advance the interests of the CZAR. 'l'o counteract the influence which such representations may have upon the councils of the SHAH, it is the duty of our Government to take an early occasion of marking, by some distinction or decoration, the high sense which her MAJESTY enter tains of the value of Mr. M'I\TEI L's diplomatic services, and particularly with regard to the course adopted by him to maintain the independence of the city of Herat. If it be true, as many naval officers assert, that there are more ships in her MAJESTY'S Navy than men could be found for under any circumstances, the Admiralty, both under Tory and Whig administra tions, must come in for the entire blame. They have been building, year after year, new ships, while, accord ing to their own officers, many of these ships must be utterly useless, even in case of a war, and must rot in our harbours for want of sailors. If such be the fact, Vic public naturally ask of what use is it to put such men as HARDY, or ADAM, or PARKER, into the Admiralty, while they only think of keeping up the number of ships, and neglect to provide what every landsman knows to be the most important element of our naval power, a numerous and efficient body of seamen. While we are not inclined to concur in the sweeping censure of these officers, it cannot be denied that the men to whom the Navy has been entrusted for the last twenty years have not changed with the times, and that they have trusted, and still trust, in case of a war, to the odious and unjust system of im pressment, without holding out encouragement by bounty or better treatment to sailors in the merchant service to enter the Navy. England possesses more numerous fleets of merchantment than any other power, and to these our old Admirals look in the event of a sudden war ; but will the country now go with them in reviving the old practice not of naval conscription, but of kidnapping fishermen from their families, and the best sailors from the mercantile navy, to be thrown on board her MAJESTY'S fleet, to be treated as they were during the last war like felons, and, after a compulsory enlistment, to be subjected to the old barbarous naval code which gave officers the power of flogging and even hanging the defenders of their country for offences of the most venial descrip tion? These days are gone by, we trust never to be revived. The general voice of the public is that there should be better treatment, better pay, a more humane code of laws for the Navy, and a liberal bounty, and with such regulations plenty of men might be had in a few months. We have enough ships at present, let only the money, therefore, which would be required for building one ship each year, say 100,0001., be set apart for bounties and increase of pay, or double, nay treble that amount if necessary, and those officers, who now look with despair on the state of our Navy, would soon find all their prophecies falsified. The country, it is admitted by the Chronicle, is getting into an unfavourable condition, and the Mi nisters occupy a situation which that Journal says is not to be envied. Whether they have the sagacity to extricate it out of its difficulties time will show ; but the Tories, if we may judge from the language held by their organs, would wedge and ram it in, till revolu tion burst asunder all restraints, and threw off the whole apparatus of government, lay and ecclesias tical. Not content with a rebellion in Canada, which is now feebly nursed by a small, a weak, and despised portion of the United States, the Times labours to blacken the motives and con duct of their President to excite a national war, and give to the Canadian rebels the assistance of all the resources of twelve million Americans. Not content, too, with the Precursor agitation, which Mr. O'CONNELL is getting up in Ireland, and which would embarass any Government, the Tory Journals would stimulate him and the Popish priests to fiercer activity and more deadly hostility. To nourish similar feelings in the Dissenters in England is the great ob ject of the Church party ; and supposing their policy not enough injurious here, the Standard strenuously advocates extending it to Upper Canada, and ranging irr,4lkool4/42lics and Presbyterians there in opposition si et ent, by quartering upon them, with all 4:ot, Episcopal Church of England. To Ae 3, enters here on the hands of the Govern -4r - . 4 41041A ► rch, does not satisfy the Tory gluttons, pas they would excite against both all the manufacturing classes by a firm denial of all redress on the subject of Corn, and by enhancing— if we believe the Herald—the restrictions on industry. The Tories would combine the Chartists, now wrangling amongst themselves and weak by their own disputes, into one firm phalanx, by an attempt to coerce them. War abroad and oppression at home is the cry of the Tories ; and so valiant are they, that forsaken and hated as is the landed aristocracy of England by the bulk of the people, and opposed as the ambitious claims of the priesthood are by more than half the nation, the aristocracy and the priesthood fancy they can subdue foreign states and the bulk of the people to their will. We certainly doubt whether the policy of the Whigs can save the nation from a frightful commotion, but we have no doubt whatever that the policy of the Tories would hasten on a dreadful revolution. The Tory idea of governing by coercion, even if adopted by the Whigs, must be given up entirely, or open resistance will be the inevitable consequence. The Rev. EBENEZER MORRIS, Vicar of Llanelly, is a trump. We do not know a finer specimen of the persecutor. He is none of your shilly-shally, half measure men, who shrink from the full practical de velopment of their principles—who advance with a timid step, and then retreat as if alarmed at their own boldness. Not a particle of nervousness is there in EBENEZER'S composition ; he is a regular " whole hogger," inscribing " no quarter" on the banner of the Cross, and wielding his ecclesiastical tomahawk and scalping-knife with a merciless and vindictive zeal which might excite the envy of a Cherokee—and all for the glory of GOD, and the honour of that Apostolical Church which has put these holy weapons into his hands to defend her rights and privileges. It is not many days since we had occasion to notice the doings of this worthy disciple of St. Dominick, in the case of JOHN JAMES, a Dissenter, whom he tore from an afflicted family, and immured in a dun geon, where he still lies, for the crime of not attending Church. We have to record to-day another exploit of a similar, or rather, if possible, more atrocious charac ter, performed by the same champion of a State-born Church. EBENEZER MORRIS, be it known, is a plu ralist. He holds two livings, and a double portion of zeal is expected from a man who has a double inte rest in the loaves, and fishes. He is Rector, Vicar, or something else, of Llanon, as well as Incumbent of Llanelly ; and, in order to follow out his pastoral proceedings towards JOHN JAMES, in Llanelly, with due consistency and impartiality in Llanon, he has instituted an ecclesiastical suit against the Dissenting Churchwarden of that parish also; and DAVID JONES, the person who held that office last year, was actually lodged in Carmarthen Gaol on Saturday last, at the instance of his meek and heavenly-minded parish priest ! The delin quencies of DAVID JONES are thus described in a letter which we have received from a cor respondent on the spot :—" Mr. DAVID JONES has this moment been brought into Carmarthen Gaol, a -prisoner, at the instance of his Vicar, for non-attendance at Church, and not providing the sacramental elements. These are his offences. All the formalities of the law were complied with by him, in summoning the raishioners, and en-, deavouring to discharge his duties, but they re fused to allow any funds for that purpose, and proceedings were instituted against the Church warden to punish him personally and criminally, for no default of his own, but for the acts of those whose mere servant or representative he was. This man can not pay if he were disposed to do it, and he will re main in custody quite as long as may be required." What a beautiful moral picture the conduct of the Rev. EBENEZER MORRIS presents to the contem plative mind I What a heavenly glow of Gospel feeling is thrown over it ! What a study for the ad mirers of a State religion Under the head " Spirit of the Public Journals" we have extracted an article from the Times, on the sub ject of Railways in Ireland, the insertion of which in our columns calls for a few passing observations. Our Contemporary has devoted much space to the discus sion of the details of the Report of the Irish Railway Commissioners ; but never in such a way as to show that he cared one stra w f or • the question, except in so far as it afforded the organs of the Tories an additional pretext for continuing a senseless clamour against Mr. O'CoN NELL and the Government. Look, for example, at the article to which we are now referring. What possible connection is there between Mr. 0' C o NN EL l.'s opinions about the Tithe Bill and the establishment of a general system of railways throughout Ire- land ? What even does it matter what Mr. O'CONNELL, or any other individual in Eng land or Ireland, may insinuate about over-reaching us n an affair the main controul of which cannot be wrested out of the hands of Parliament ? Seriously to propose that the legislation for a kingdom should be regulated by the degree of good faith which may be reposed in the promises of this or that individual, is so monstrous that we are surprised any public Journal could be guilty of such folly. If Parliament were seriously to legislate upon the faith of pledges given by any one individual, when passing a Tithe Bill applicable to all Ireland, there is no person acquainted with the prin ciples of our Constitution, who would not denounce such legislation as a violation of the most sacred eights of the people. The Act would not be a law, but a contract, and Parliament has not the power to make any such as is here presumed. But the truth is, as we said before, the Times is indifferent to the Railway question, as far as regards the improvement, physical and moral, of the Irish people. The Tories do not want to see Ireland trans quil, or her population prosperous. The religious bickerings and physical wretchedness of the Irish population are essential to the domination, in some shape or other, of faction in England. Ireland as she is serves as a hunting ground to the younger sons of the Aristocracy, who contrive to subsist comfortably by the profits arising from sinecure establishments, maintained at the public cost, for the multiplication of abuses. But in tersect Ireland by railways—call her vast resources into profitabl e operation—give free and fair scope to her industry, and we shall soon behold a nation too wealthy, powerful, and intelligent to submit to wrongs which neither England nor Scotland would tolerate for an instant. We have repeatedly answered all the objections urged by the Times with respect to Govern ment jobbing ; and when the question is regularly before Parliament we shall have much more to say upon that point. The proprietors of the Birmingham Railway Company will at once admit, that the reference of the Times to them, by way of illustrating the o private Companies' calculation s of expenditure, is exactness ludi - f crously unfortunate. The observationwhich we made yesterday on the Denham Park Institution, for the temporary retire ment of persons labouring under mental disease, have called forth a letter from a Correspondent which, ac cording to our general practice, We have given to the public. It certainly was not our intention to with hold praise where praise is due, and had we known that there was a single Lunatic Institution, o f a private nature, conducted on the principles of hu manity and common sense, we should not have pointed out Denham Park as the first intQ which th9s9 prin. ciples have been introduced. We are, however, happy to find, and obliged to our Correspondent for in forming us, that there was one of this description previously in existence, although he candidly admits, that " all who have paid the least at tention to this painful subject must be well aware that our sweeping censure is only too fully borne out by the truth." If, however, we have erred in supposing that the humane and judicious system of treating in sanity adopted at Denham Park originated with the managers of that institution, we have erred along with Sir WI LLIA NI ELLIS, who, as a writer on the treatment of this malady, must be supposed to have made him self well acquainted with the subject in all its relations. Let us then see what this gentleman says on the point in question. In his work on insanity, published not many months ago, we find the following excellent remarks on the treatment of that class of patients for which the esta blishment at Denham Park appears to be instituted :-- ' But it is in vain to hope to rouse the intellectual and the nobler faculties of patients in the higher ranks, so long as they are left to the society of a keeper or a nurse. They ought to be the associated companions of persons of benevolent disposi tions, of refined habits, and of cultivated tastes." Sir WILLIAM not only asserts that no Insti tution, embracing this and other advantages which are to be found at the Denham Park Establishment, at present exists, but endeavours to account for its non- THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1838. rough or any part thereof, in consequence of the death of any persons since 1811, for whose lives any of the mes suages were granted. In 1814 the title was approved by the Counsel of the purchaser. In the meantime, two ques tions had arisen —one, whether the lives had been correctly stated in the particulars of the purchase, and whether Mr. Campernowne was entitled to any deduction from the purchase money in consequence of the inaccuracy of this statement : and the other, whether any of the lives had determined since September, 1811, and if • so, what increased amount became payable in respect of the increased value which had accrued to the property. These piestions were submitted to Mr. Morgan, the Ac tuary, and in 1816 a deed was prepared containing the result of an arrangement which the parties had come to on these points. On a reference to the Master it was found there was a binding arrangement as to the amount of the increase. An exception was taken to this, but overruled, and the report confirmed. The other inquiry was then pro secuted, whether there had been any binding arrangement as to the other question. The Master reported that there was a binding arrangement, to which an exception was taken, but abandoned ; but the Master also re portel that the arrangement had been abandoned by the plaintiff. To this two exc, ptions were taken—first, that, according to the form of the decree, it was not competent to fiml that there had been an abandonment ; and, secondly, that there bad been no abandonment. Mr. Swanston and Mr. Calvert appeared in support of the exceptions, Mr. Bethell in support of the Master's report. existence : " Many reasons," says he, " exist which will sufficiently ac count for the fact, that NO such a retreat for the insane is to be found. In the first place, the capital which would be required to supply all the requisites would be such as no individual would feel himself justified in expending, particularly as the prospect of his being ultimately repaid would depend almost entirely upon the continuance of his life, and of such a mea sure of health as would enable him to fulfil his professional duties. But there is still a stronger reason : it is not the inte rest of the proprietor of a private asylum to cure his patients." He then sketches the outline of what, in his opinion, an institution for the bona fide cure of insanity ought to be, in the following terms:— " I should recommend an Asylum on the same principle as the Proprietary Schools. Let a number of gentlemen sub scribe, in shares, a sufficient capital for the purpose ; let a Committee of Management be selected ; a proper house, grounds, furniture, and apparatus be procured, and the rates of admission determined by the Committee, who would, of course, have the power of refusing any applications. A re sident Medical Superintendent should be appointed, who should have a fixed salary, and should not be allowed to de rive the slightest pecuniary benefit from the patients remain ing in the house." Now, finding Sir WILLIAMS beau ideal to be the plan of the Denham Park Institution—findi ng also that he states positively that no such institution existed—we think we were justified in supposing that the Proprie tors and Managers of that Institution had the merit of being the first to carry the plan into effect. This is, however, a matter of small, or rather of no importance at all. We rejoice to think that there are even two Establishments in which humane attention is at last bestowed on the most unfortunat e of the human race. We hope and trust that ere long there will be none conducted on any other system, and can assure our Correspondent that we shall never be wanting in our endeavours to effect a purpose in the accomplish ment of which the community is so deeply interested. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT has been properly invited by the Loyal and Constitutional Association of Bir mingham, to grace their anniversary festival with his presence. It thus fully confirms the general opinion, that an Association which can be honoured by his company, must be one of the most degraded in the empire. He has found out for its behoof, that " our institutions in Church and State are unrivalled," and all verge to one point--" - true liberty." Why did he not make this discovery thirty years ago, instead of employing the vigour of his days to convert men to an opposite theory, who will not be reconverted by the drivellings of his dotage ? If he be now sincere, we wish him no worse punishment than the reflection that he employed his manhood in doing mischief, which the impotence of age will not allow him to redress. He is justly chosen as the leader of the Tories ; for his career, as thus described, is a correct emblem of their policy. We have been expecting all this morning arrivals from New York to the 24th ult. Should they reach us in time this evening we shall give the substance of them in a Second Edition. The whole of the Paris Papers of Monday have been received, from which extracts will be found under the head " Foreign Intelligence." They bring no political news of engrossing interest. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) Consent petitions and short causes occupied the Cour the greater part of the morning. EARLY RISING OF THE COURT, Mr. PEDIBERTON, on rising to reply in the case of Saward v. M'Dounell, expressed his great regret that his absence should have been the cause of the Court rising at so early an hour yesterday. Lord LANGDALE—Yes, Mr. Pemberton, it was a great loss of time. I regret very much that Junior Counsel do ❑ot attend on occasions when their leaders must he un avoidably absent. Mr. PEMBERTON said it was impossible for business to go on unless they did so. The Learned Gentleman then prc ceeded to address the Court in reply to the arguments or Council on behalf of the defendants in the above case. COMMON PLEAS-GUILDHALL. (THIS DAY.) BRAGG V. NICHOLSON. ASSAULT AND FALSE IMPRISONMENT.—The plaintiff in this case was a stone-merchant, of Wapping-, the defen dant was the owner of " Nicholson's Wharf;" near London Bridge. In April last the plaintiff had delivered some stone at the wharf, to the amount of 30/. ; and in May following applied several times for the money. On the 3d of that month he called at the wharf, and meeting defendant, pro ceeded to ask him for payment ; high words ensued, and eventually plaintiff was given in charge to a policeman by defendant, for obstructing him in his business. Plaintiff was thereupon conveyed to the watch-house, and taken be fore Sir J. Key, at Guildhall, who discharged him, Nichol son not appearing. Sergeant \\TILDE, for the plaintiff, submitted to the Jury that he was entitled to compensation for so unwarrantable a violation of his liberty. Several witnesses having clearly proved the plaintiff's case, The Counsel for defendant called his superintendent, who stated that plaintiff had frequently called for the money, and on the day in question had declared his intention of following defendant about till he was forcibly removed from the prennscs. On cross-examination the witness said the accou n t was for cash, and that he had exatnined it when delivered, and measured the stone. Serjeant WILDE replied, and left it to the Jury to say, whether a tradesman calling for a cash account several weeks after the goods were delivered, was a justification for sending him to prison. The CHIEF JUSTICE told the Jury that their verdict must be for plaintiff, because the annoyance defend ant m i ght have receiv e d f rom plaintiff's calling for his account, was no justifi ca ti on f or g i v i ng him in charge, and h av i ng him sent to the wat c h-h ous e. If defendant had anything to complain of in th e mann er of plaintiff's demand, he should have stated it at Guildhall. The Jury would assess such damages, as were a fair and reasonable compensation to plaintiff for the injury be had sustained. The Jury found for plaintiff, damages 20/. EQUITY EXCHEQUER-(THIS DAY) (Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.) TONVNSEND V. CHAMPERNONVNE. This case came before the Court on exception to the Master's report. In 1811, a contract was entered into for the sale of the manor and borough of Honiton, and Mr. Scott, who agreed to become the purchaser for 75,0001., was to have the estate free of all incumbrances, except such leases as were specified in the particulars, and there were some other minor details. That contract was abandoned by Mr. Scott, and Mr. Champernowne became the pur chaser in 1812, and entered into the contract which was the subject of the present suit ; and he b ecame entitled to the prop er ty a t th e re duced price of seventy thousand pounds on the terms stipulated in the original agreement, and it was also agreed that Mr. Champernowne should pay to the plaintiff the increased value of the bo- BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) An elderly woman, named Ludlow Jedder, was brotwht up by Sergeant Leslie, F Division, charged with robbing Mr. Fitzowen Skinner, a-barrister, residing at 25, Keppcl sreet, Russell-square, in whose service she lived as cook, of a quantity of plate, value 301., his property. It appeared that the prisoner's daughter lived as house maid with the prosecutor, and on the Ist of September, when the plate was missed, she was questioned about it, b•it said she knew nothing whatever of it. On the follow ing evening in consequence of a dispute which occurred between the prisoner and her daughter, the prosecutor de in ended to know the cause, and he was told by the daughter that her mother would drive her mad by the manner in which she was conducting herself. The prisoner then said the dispute arose about the plate, at the same time giving up a number of duplicates for the property. She was then desired to go to bed, and on looking over the several articles which had been committed to her charge ; there were missed some blankets and bed linen; The prosecutor instantly left the house to call in a friend, while he pro cured the assistance of an officer ; and, happening to for get to lock the street door, the prisoner absconded before he had time to return. The daughter was then given into custody ; but as it appeared that she was in no way con cerned in the robbery, she was ordered to be discharged, and the greater part of the plate was subsequently found pledged at the shop of Mr. Barker, in High Holborn, where it had been pawned between August and the present month. The prisoner was given in charge last evening for stealing a coat and a pair of boots, value 4/. 10s., from Mr. L. Bull, of Sussex-street, Tottenham Court-road, by whom the officer was informed that she had absconded from her master's service, after making away with the property in question. - The prisoner admitted her guilt, on the first charge, but said that the prosecutor in the second case had ordered her to pledge the articles, and it was to support him that the plate was pawned during his illness. Mr. MiNsituLL ordered her to be remanded. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY. DEAL, DEC. 10.—Wind W. N.

Arrivals this morning —French and Hamburgh mails ; ship letters from Demerara and Quebec ; Bombay by the King William. The splendid new packet ship Roscius, Captain Collins, from New York, is hourly expected. She was to sail on the 25th ult., being full of passengers and cargo. Accounts are said to be received from Bahia of the 28th October, stating that another Revolution had taken place there. THE FUNDS. We have no arrivals of any consequence to the present time, the ship letters being of old dates. The foggy weather throws a damp on speculating in the Funds,, as well as commercial transactions. Consols, which closed yesterday at 93 1 94 for the Ac count, opened at the same price this morning, with little doing at present. The revolution at Bahia is not confirmed to the present hour, nor can we ascertain by what ship it has been re ceived, although it appears probable, as revolutions in South America are very common events. It has had an effect on the Brazilian Stock, which has receded about 1 per cent. this morning, from 771 i to 761 1.

There are Savings' Banks in the Island, and it appears that a sum of 24,2961. 9s. 3d. Sterling have been deposited in them. The estimated available balance is put down at 16,032/. Is. 7d., on the 31st of December, 1838, and the excess of Revenue over Expenditure for the present year, 2,6831. Bs. 4d. 1 The comparative statement of the principal items of re venue for the: years 1835, 1836, and 1837, shows an in crease in 1836 on 1835 in every branch, and in 1837 over 1836 of all except exports and fees of office. In consequence of the inclement state of the weather, and the heavy rain which fell in the mountain district of the parish of St. Andrew, the public meeting which was ad vertised did not take place, there being a very thin atten dance. On Saturday evening last a riot took place at Rochfori of rather a serious nature. The continuance of the gloomy weather during the whole of the morning, has had some trifling effect on the British Market. Consols which were in the early part of the morning at 93i 91, for the Account, have receded to 934, with rather a heavy market.

Henry Liddell, M.P., and Mrs. Lid dell, arrived at Brighton on Thursday last from Ravens worth Castle, Northumberland, owing to the alarming in disposition of Lord George Seymour, father of the Hon. Member's Lady. Fletcher, who with others was tried at the late Sessions of the Central Criminal Court for being con cerned in the robbery at St. Katharine's Docks, and ac quitted, applied yesterday through his solicitor to the Magistrates of Lambeth-street, for restitution of the pro perty which had been taken from him. Mr. Pelham, for the Company, resisted the application. The Bench would make no order on the subject, and Fletcher's solicitor threatened an action against the officer who holds the property. A few days ago a policeman on duty in the Regent's Park discovered a bundle lying within the enclosure near the Zoological Gardens, and, on opening it, found that it contained two smaller packages, in each of which was the half of a body of a child, apparently new born. The cloth in which the mutilated remains were wrapped up was ap parently part of a woman's merino gown, of fine texture. The body was removed to the workhouse of St. Pancras parish, and, information having been forwarded to the Co roner, an inquest was held last night, but no evidence was adduced tending to throw any light on the mysterious affair. A general verdict of " Found exposed" was re turned. The cloth remains with the parish officers, for the purpose of being identified.
